Z-one™Z1, Z2, Z3 Series
Function
The Z-one, a two-position spring return zone valve,
is used in heating and air-conditioning systems.
The Z-one series consist of a Z1 actuator which is
easily attached to a Z2 (2-way) or Z3 (3-way) valve
body. Z1 actuator is equipped with or without
auxiliary switch.
The Z-one actuator has a synchronous motor that
winds the return spring and moves the valve paddle
to the desired position. When power is removed the
actuator spring returns the valve paddle. 24V
actuators use a sealed reed switch for end switch,
requiring no minimum current load.

Installation
The valve can be installed vertically or horizontally, but not turned upside down.
-A 3-way valve cannot be transformed into a 2-way valve and vice versa.
-The flow is from A to B (see diagram below) and must be installed so the paddle
closes against the direction of flow as indicated in the following diagrams.
-The 2-way valves can be installed on the
supply or on the return; for correct
installation it is necessary to respect the
direction of flow indicated from the arrow
on the body valve.

with all applicable codes and ordinances.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety related instructions.
When used, the safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD.
CAUTION: Over-tightening and breakage can occur with the use of Teflon
pipe joint compounds. Teflon provides lubricity so that care must be exercised
not to over-tighten joints. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
CAUTION: System fluids are under pressure or temperature can be
hazardous. Be sure the pressure has been reduced to zero and the system
temperature is below 100ºF (38ºC). Failure to follow these instructions could
result in property damage and/or personal injury.
CAUTION: Avoid locations with excessive moisture, explosive vapors,
corrosive fumes or vibration. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in stress corrosion resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
